...unique pop group. In the wake of their first experimental album Polydistortion, GusGus emerges more enchanting than before. Having already established a reputation for flair and soulful character, the band returns exploring new territory. Lyrical fantasies resonate throughout "Ladyshave," exuding lusty thoughts and twisted sexual melodies. Surging words about bleak promises and misplaced trust blacken ideas of foolish admiration in "Starlovers." "Love vs Hate" contains all of five words, but the pulsating dance music is stylish and sophisticated. This Is Normal has an added feature for wannabe deejays and tired listeners--the ability to remix the album's songs...

What to Look For Full to the brim with gratuitous violence, this bleak portrayal of the souls within the men of today seems grim and hopeless.

Great plays are not always easy to sit through. Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh runs nearly 4 1/2 hours, has a garrulous first act that could try the patience of saints, and hammers home its point about "pipe dreams"--the illusions that prevent people from facing the bleak realities of their lives--so many times that you might want to take a lead pipe to the author.
